Jesus Will, the inaugural release from WieRok Records and the long-awaited debut EP from genre-spanning singer/songwriter Sean Rodriguez, is now available. Showcasing his reigning #1 hit, “It Is Finished” (feat. Disciple), which has claimed the top spot on Christian Music Weekly’s Rock chart for a total of six weeks to date, the Jesus Will EP also features Rodriguez’s first single of 2025, “Rise.”

A pulsing pop anthem helmed by multi-GRAMMY and Dove Award-winning producer Chuck Butler (Tauren Wells, Micah Tyler) and penned by Rodriguez, Joshua Cockerham and Will Strotz, “Rise” is a timely message for a new year, underscoring God’s transformative power to renew and restore lives.

“Not only does God fight for us, but He calls us to rise from the destruction of our past and step into the new life He has prepared for us,” shares Rodriguez. “The joy of being a new creation in Christ is found in the forgiveness we receive from our past mistakes and faults and understanding that they are completely removed in God’s eyes. The enemy has no hold over us, and that is ultimate freedom.”

Initial episodes feature such diverse guests as bestselling author Joel C. Rosenberg; The Voice of The Martyrs’ Todd Nettleton; the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association’s Josh Holland; and Dove Award-winning recording artist, author and actress Nicole C. Mullen.

Each episode will be recorded at the team’s new studio in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.

“Through our initial prayer of, ‘What can we do to serve You today?’ God has brought Dawn & Steve+ to life in ways we were not able to see coming,” says May. “We hope to convey through each episode the Truth that walking with Jesus begins with a relationship with Him because He died for our sins and rose again.

Our heart behind Dawn & Steve+ is that we talk about real life; hear from people who follow Jesus despite the hard and difficult circumstances life brings this side of eternity; and that, together, in the midst of joy and sadness, we can celebrate the Truth that He is always faithful. We also hope that alongside the podcast, our team will find ways to be present in person to offer hands-on help in times of need.”
